TWO people were seriously injured when a gas explosion rocked a house in Harare’s Warren Park D suburb last weekend.The blast destroyed part of the four-roomed house, reducing some property to ashes while a lodger, Doreen Muchenje (30), and another man only identified as Lovemore were rushed to Parirenyatwa Hospital after sustaining burns.It is said Muchenje had been running an illegal gas filling business from her rented room for about three months before the accident.
At around 7pm on August 20 Muchenje was filling a gas cylinder belonging to her client, Lovemore, when the gas exploded in her room.
The Harare Fire Brigade attended the scene and only managed to douse the fire after an hour.
By then, virtually all the household property in Muchenje’s room had been burnt to ashes.
The owner of the house, Ms Svinurai Marowa Makangira, was at her rural home when the incident occurred.
Ms Makangira’s son, Elliot, was at home and witnessed the incident.
«I heard the loud blast followed by screaming.I opened my door and was surprised to see Doreen’s room on fire.
«Doreen said she was serving her customer when the gas exploded.It is not clear what happened because she said the gas just exploded while she was filling a stove cylinder,» said Elliot.
